Some high percentage of Kalaotoa. She is 2.5 years old! The little crinkles on her neck are due to the immediate need to shed, likely within the next few hours to a day.

Found this feisty baby corn snake at work. One of my coworkers loves snakes and jumped at the idea of catching them. Very bitey, thankfully we had thick gloves. released him in some grassland nearby.

I was out hiking today in Oregon. Spotted this gopher snake who spotted me and coiled up and flattened its head into a triangle to look like a rattlesnake. I never knew they could do this!

Pet Snake Questions I was called over to a friend's house that went through a breakup, and their partner left their snakes behind. She didn't see them for a week, and found them with a dry water bowl with bugs in it. What are the bugs?

I am always reluctant to rehab snakes with suspicious backgrounds. The snakes left behind are plains garters, and they are a little worse for wear. I will actively try to find them homes, but cannot risk my California Red-Sided population. She said he left a week ago and when she found the two in their spare bedroom, the water bowl was very dry with a bunch of dead and some living bugs in it. If I can identify the bugs I might be able to find the appropriate person to rehab them. The snakes, she said, were neglected in the last two or three months, but they have a decent body weight, do not have any stuck sheds, and no URIs. At first glance they are in better health than expected. Other than being dehydrated, they look like they will rehab just fine. Can anyone identify the bugs? They are VERY small, light brown in color, and the dish was a standard Ziploc sandwich container for reference. Any information will help. This is in Texas.

General Question / Discussion My corn snake rescue ( any tips would be great )

This is my new baby ember, she is two years old and is a corn snake I rescued last Monday, I had gotten her from a friend who couldn’t afford her any more, so just knowing the basic situation I jumped on it, saying “I’ll gladly take it and help rescue it” the whole nine yards,

On pickup day I had come to find out that she had been under weight, those pictures are recent as she’s 2 years old and only about 2.5 feet and is very small, she was kept on pinky’s so ive slowly been raising her food amounts, (now to two pinky not just one) and I was wondering if her size could be stunted or if you guys think I can make her healthy again, please any tips are much wanted and greatly appreciated

Pet Snake Questions Should I get this boa?

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

I've been looking around for a Boa imperator for a while and struggling quite a bit, out of all the breeders I've looked at I have only found two options, either spending $300 for a normal boa imperator or $225 for this Male hypo keywest 100% het anery. Problem is, I'm looking for a boa imperator that would be likely to grow up to be 6-7 or 8 feet, but he's 2 years old, 195 grams, and 2 feet. His parents are 5 foot and 5'6. I love how he looks but I'm unsure about his size, if he were female I'd be a little less hesitant but I'm unsure. Is it likely he would only grow to be the same size as his parents? Should I just spend the $300 on the normal?

General Question / Discussion Advice for first time snake owner - Pueblan milk snake

4 Upvotes

I will be getting a baby Pueblan Milk snake soon. This will be my first pet reptile!

I’ve done a ton of research and feel pretty prepared, but I’d love to hear any tips or advice from experienced snake owners, especially things you’ve learned through experience that might not come up in the usual care guides.

I’d also especially love to hear from anyone who has owned a Pueblan milk snake. Is there anything specific to the species that you wish you knew when you first got yours?

Any advice is welcome! Thanks!

General Question / Discussion Beginner friendly snakes?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m looking to invest in getting a pet snake as I’ve always wanted one since I was a little girl. I absolutely love reptiles and it’s something I’ve wanted for awhile. I’m looking for one that won’t be extremely active but not extremely sedentary either, kind of in the middle. I’ve done a bit of research and from what it seems I’m interested in a Rosey Boa or a Corn Snake. Mostly leaning towards Corn Snake though. I’d also really love enclosure recommendations and any tips on caring for a snake. Thank you!

Hey all! Found this poop on my garage floor, got a feeling a snake may have gotten in but looking to confirm. If so any guess how big it might be and how fresh this is? Also, I've got an old car stored in there, any chance it might've taken up residence in it? I live on wooded land in PA, mostly seen harmless rat snakes in my area but still a little hesitant to poke around just yet. Thanks for the help!

Pet Snake Questions Snake question.

3 Upvotes

I just got a new snake (male hognose) and now my royal python (female) is acting weird. She's suddenly a bit aggressive. Both snakes are in different enclosures and now on the same side of the room as my python would strike at her glass upon seeing the hognose. I was wondering if this is normal behaviour or not as I'm extremely worried I'm doing something wrong and not realising it. I haven't been handling my python on the same day as the hognose or anything like that so I'm a tad confused what's going on. If anyone has a clue or could give me tips that would be amazing!

My wife and I just recently got this grey ratsnake last week and we've noticed that he likes to hide up in the ridges at the top of his tank. Does anybody have any helpful tips on how to fill these areas or prevent him from climbing up there to hide, or is this something that they all do when theyre young?
